Description

BACKGROUND OF THE PRESENT INVENTION
1. Field of Invention
The present invention relates to the field of modification treatment of a metallic or nonmetallic surface, and in particular, to a method for preparing a diamond carbon membrane on a surface of stainless steel.
2. Description of Related Arts
A diamond film, which has such advantages as high hardness, resistance to wear, resistance to corrosion and high temperature resistance, may be applied onto a tool or drill, not only resulting in extension of the tool life by ten times to dozens of times, but also significant improvement of the cutting efficiency. In the conventional method for preparation of diamond, such stringent conditions as high pressure and high temperature are required. Since 1980s, the methods for preparing the diamond film at the moderate conditions of low temperature (600-1000° C.) and low pressure (vacuum or atmospheric pressure) have been developed. The current methods for synthesizing the diamond film primarily include chemical vapor deposition, physical vapor deposition, liquid deposition, polymer pyrolysis and the like. The vapor deposition suffers from such major disadvantages as low growth efficiency, complex deposition apparatus, and high cost, being unsuitable for preparation of diamond film on the substrate with a large area and a complex shape. The liquid deposition suffers from such disadvantages as low rate and efficiency of deposition, and low level of the formed diamond structure phase.
By searching the prior art, liquid electrodeposition of diamond-like film on the stainless steel is found in Electrochemistry, vol. 13, No. 1, pp. 58-62, February 2007, which suggested that, the methanol organic liquid is used as a carbon source by pulse electrochemical deposition to prepare the diamond-like film on the stainless steel surface, having poor crystallinity although there is a characteristic peak like diamond in its Raman spectrum. By searching, the study on the surface of diamond-like film prepared from polymer pyrolysis is found in J. Chin. Electr. Microsc. Soc. 22 (6): 547-548, 2003, which suggested that polyphenyl carbonate dissolved in the organic solvent is applied onto the surface of monocrystalline silicon and is treated at high temperature under inert gas protection upon volatilization of the solvent, to give the diamond-like film primarily including amorphous graphite carbon and possibly trace but undetectable diamond phase.
Preparation of diamond or diamond-like film on the stainless steel surface by polymer pyrolysis has not been reported. In the patent publication No. U.S. Pat. No. 1,421,477A, the prepared carbonaceous mesophase had optical anisotropy, favorable self-sintering and self-bonding properties. In particular, the biomass-derived carbonaceous mesophase film may be converted into the diamond or diamond-like film under hydrogen selective etching, induction and catalytic action during heating. The stainless steel, specially the most widely used stainless steel 304 and 316, contains substantial elements such as iron, nickel and chromium, resulting in a certain catalytic effect on synthesis of the diamond carbon membrane.
SUMMARY OF THE PRESENT INVENTION
To overcome the disadvantages in the prior art, the present invention aims to provide a method for preparing a diamond carbon membrane on a surface of stainless steel. For pyrolysis and conversion of the biomass-derived carbonaceous mesophase into carbon film according to the present invention, a variety of metal components such as Fe, Cr, Ni, and Mn, have an inducing catalytic effect on conversion of carbon film, hydrogen atmosphere and a given temperature lead to selectivity of the pyrolyzed carbon, and the mesophase layered structure favors the effect of hydrogen and catalyst, resulting in formation of carbon film containing diamond component.
The objective of the present invention is realized by:
A method for preparing the diamond carbon membrane on the stainless steel surface, including:
(1) pretreatment of the surface of the stainless steel: the stainless steel surface is required to be subject to polishing, acid washing or electrochemical treatment for removal of oxide, grease stain, and grain impurities on the surface;
(2) adhesion of a biomass-derived carbonaceous mesophase film on the stainless steel surface: the pretreated stainless steel sample is immersed into a solution of the biomass-derived carbonaceous mesophase in ethanol with a given concentration for 5 minutes prior to taking out and air drying; or alternatively, the solution of the biomass-derived carbonaceous mesophase in ethanol with a given concentration is sprayed onto the stainless steel surface, to provide a layer of biomass-derived carbonaceous mesophase film adhered on the stainless steel surface upon full volatilization of the solution on the surface;
(3) thermal treatment: the stainless steel having the biomass-derived carbonaceous mesophase film adhered is subject to thermal treatment under hydrogen-contained atmosphere, to prepare the diamond carbon membrane on the stainless steel surface.
The stainless steel is one of various types, including stainless steel 201, stainless steel 202, stainless steel 304, stainless steel 316, stainless steel 410 or stainless steel 420.
The solution of the biomass-derived carbonaceous mesophase in ethanol is one formulated from the biomass-derived carbonaceous mesophase by dissolution into absolute ethanol, where the biomass-derived carbonaceous mesophase is prepared according to the patent No. CN1421477A.
The solution of the biomass-derived carbonaceous mesophase in ethanol has the concentration of 0.0001-1 wt %.
Full impregnation of the stainless steel by the solution is required during immersion of the stainless steel in the solution of the biomass-derived carbonaceous mesophase in ethanol or spraying of the solution of the biomass-derived carbonaceous mesophase in ethanol onto the stainless steel surface.
The heat treatment process is divided into three stages: stage 1: heating from room temperature to the predetermined temperature of 800-1200° C. at a heating rate of 5-30° C./min; stage 2: maintaining at the predetermined temperature of 800-1200° C. for 0.5-3 hours; and stage 3: natural cooling with a furnace.
The hydrogen-contained atmosphere is pure hydrogen gas, or mixed gas of hydrogen gas and nitrogen gas or another inert gas.
The another inert gas includes helium or argon gas, where the percent by volume of the hydrogen gas is more than 75%.
Compared to the prior art, the present invention involves using the chemical properties of the biomass-derived carbonaceous mesophase, the catalytic properties of the metal atoms on the stainless steel surface, and selective etching effect of hydrogen gas for pyrolysis of the biomass-derived carbonaceous mesophase film onto the stainless steel surface to provide a layer of diamond carbon membrane, where the biomass-derived carbonaceous mesophase with widely available source and low cost is used as the raw material; the desired apparatuses are simple without vacuum chamber or high-temperature high-pressure equipment; the preparation process is simple, only including three steps: pretreatment of the stainless steel surface, application of the biomass-derived carbonaceous mesophase film on the stainless steel surface and thermal treatment for preparation of the carbon film with various contents of diamond component; and the generated film is uniform, dense, and firm in bonding with the stainless steel substrate, leading to improvement of corrosion resistance, rigidity and high temperature resistance of the stainless steel, and being worth expanding in practical application.
